Newbie UW Video cam Advice
Posted: Mon Jul 15, 2019 12:47 pm
Hey folks-
New to the idea of underwater vid capture. Curious if anyone has used the new GoPro 7 Hero action cameras (or any iteration of these) for diving in Puget Sound area. In effect I'm looking to capture the dive and other under water (UW) aspects but am not ready to choke on the cost of a higher end rig. Action cams are relatively inexpensive and fairly versatile at rec dive depths (targeted operation above 100 ft). Not trying to make PBS specials, but want to learn UW vid skills at an entry level.
was also looking at the Olympus TG Tracker?
Perspective? Opinion? Things I haven't considered?
Thanks for making me smarter!
